A new linear/rotary dual-motion actuator has been designed to provide incremental rotational and linear movement of the output shaft. The Size 14 actuator has two degrees of freedom of movement that ...

For rotary or linear motors, motion is produced in the same way and the same basic physics and electromagnetic forces apply. The theory that produces "torque" in a rotary motor produces "force" in a ...

Lead screws are commonly used to convert rotary motion into linear motion, and often provide actuation to a set of linear bearings. Download this Tech Talk for insight into different lead screw ...

SP INTERNATIONAL Headway Ball Screw mechanical linear actuator translates rotational motion to linear motion with little friction. A threaded shaft provides a helical raceway for ball bearings, which ...

Abstract: Few rotational actuators currently exist with the ability to transmit motion at different speeds, torques, and directions at the nanometer scale. We present work regarding the application of ...

Currently, various humanoid robot products have multiple solutions for actuator technology, and the choice of different solutions is often a trade-off between application scenarios and manufacturing ...

Consider a world composed of nanometre-sized factories and self-repairing molecular machines where complex and responsive processes operate under exquisite control; where translational and rotational ...

A cam is a rotating piece that converts rotary motion into reciprocating motion in the follower. Think of it like a spinning shape pushing something up and down. Eccentric/off centre cam: this is the ...
